"Dad," Shen Zhi Qiu called softly, seeing that he was still looking into the car, and said indifferently, "Qing Yan is busy, only I am back."
"If Gu Qingyan isn't coming, then why did you come back?" Shen Yanshan immediately stopped smiling after confirming that Shen Zhi Qiu was the only one there.
"Hello, Mr. Shen. Mr. Gu has an important meeting today and asked me to bring the young mistress back to see you. These are gifts for you." Uncle Chen, who was squatting behind the car organizing the items, immediately stood up when he heard Shen Yanshan's words. He spoke in a humble yet assertive manner, thus helping Shen Zhi Qiu out of the predicament.
Upon seeing this, Shen Yanshan realized that although Gu Qingyan was busy, he had specially arranged for someone to send his daughter back, bringing so many gifts, which showed how much he valued Shen Zhi Qiu. So he immediately smiled and said, "Bringing so many gifts to your parents' home, really, Mr. Gu, you've gone to so much trouble."
Uncle Chen carried the gifts into the villa and placed them on the living room floor. Then he bowed slightly to Shen Zhi Qiu and said, "Madam, I'll be leaving now. Please let me know if you need to go home later, and I'll come pick you up."
Then he politely said goodbye to Shen Yanshan and left the Shen family villa.
Watching Uncle Chen drive away, Shen Yanshan carefully examined the gifts scattered on the ground, and couldn't help but smile. These things must be worth at least several million. Gu Qingyan's son-in-law is really generous.
Shen Zhi Qiu placed her handbag on the sofa, and the nanny brought over a cup of rose milk tea and placed it on the table. "Miss, this is your favorite tea."
Shen Zhi Qiu thanked her softly. She had just sat down to rest for a while when she heard footsteps on the stairs.
A sweet, delicate voice came from inside: "Dad, why did you buy me so many gifts?"
Shen Meiyan, dressed in a white princess dress, walked gracefully towards the pile of gifts, her eyes brimming with joy.
"Meiyan, come here." Shen Yanshan smiled kindly and beckoned her over. "Pick whatever you like. These are all gifts from your sister and brother-in-law."
Shen Zhi Qiu's eyes dimmed. When had Shen Yan Shan ever been so kind and gentle to her?
"A gift from my sister?" Shen Meiyan chuckled, then glanced at Shen Zhi Qiu on the sofa. "Where would she get the money to buy a gift? She's spending her brother-in-law's money."
Shen Yanshan didn't think there was anything wrong with these words at all. Instead, he curled his lips and disdainfully echoed, "Yes, your sister has no skills and can only stay at home and be a parasite. Unlike you, you are beautiful and talented. You will definitely be able to make a great career in the future."
Shen Zhi Qiu gave a cold laugh and said bluntly, "Since I'm married to him, this is our joint property as husband and wife, and we don't distinguish between them." After saying that, she took a sip of tea to suppress her anger.
Shen Meiyan pursed her lips and pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved.
"Speaking of which, Zhi Qiu, let me ask you, did you take the medicine I sent you?" Shen Yanshan saw that his daughter had been wronged and immediately began to attack.
"No, I don't like taking medicine," Shen Zhi Qiu said calmly.
“You have to eat it even if you don’t like it! It’s medicine that your Aunt Lin specially went to get for you. Don’t be ungrateful. You’ve been married for several years and still don’t have a child. Your family is so worried about you!” Shen Yanshan said with a stern face.
“Dad, Gu Qingyan doesn’t like children.” Shen Zhi Qiu had no choice but to bring up Gu Qingyan.
"Won't you like him after you give birth to him? A child is the bond between husband and wife. What if Xiao Wanqing gets pregnant and Gu Qingyan belongs to someone else? What will you do then?!"
The image of Xiao Wanqing's smug smile flashed through Shen Zhi Qiu's mind. Her heart felt like it was being slashed by a knife, but she pretended to be relaxed and tentatively asked, "Then we can just get a divorce."
"Absolutely no divorce allowed! Do you think you can find someone like Gu Qingyan after you get divorced? Dream on!" Shen Yanshan's expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look at Shen Zhi Qiu and scolded her angrily.
"Ah Shan, why are you so angry? I could hear you yelling from upstairs. Don't get yourself sick from getting so angry," Lin Yuehuan quietly appeared at the bottom of the stairs and gently comforted him.
Seeing Shen Zhi Qiu downstairs, Lin Yue Huan paused for a moment, then straightened her expensive shawl and walked downstairs with her signature smile. "Zhi Qiu's here. It's lunchtime, let's eat together."
The tense atmosphere eased somewhat as the nanny brought the food to the table.
Just as Shen Zhi Qiu picked up his chopsticks, Lin Yue Huan quickly gave Shen Yan Shan a wink.
"Ahem," Shen Yanshan coughed and said casually, "Zhiqiu, I recently heard that the Gu Group's land in the western suburbs is for sale. Do you think we could get Gu Qingyan to give this land to me at a low price?"
Shen Zhi Qiu paused, holding her chopsticks, and immediately understood the purpose of this meal. She sneered inwardly, thinking, "They said it was a nice family meal, but so this is what they were up to."
“Dad, I never get involved in business matters, and Gu Qingyan never talks to me about these things. I can’t help you with this.” Shen Zhi Qiu took a bite of vegetables, but found no taste in them.
"It's just a matter of asking, we're all family, you won't even help with this little thing?" Shen Meiyan snorted. "From childhood to adulthood, how much effort has Dad put into you? If it weren't for Dad's careful cultivation, you wouldn't have had the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family. And you, you're so ungrateful, you don't even remember Dad's kindness."
Shen Yanshan originally wanted to patiently persuade Shen Zhiqiu again, but after hearing his daughter's words, he straightened his back even more and said irritably, "Your sister is right. You should reflect on yourself. You are not filial at all! All you do is talk back to me!"
"Dad!" Shen Zhi Qiu slammed down her chopsticks. "From childhood to adulthood, what have you been good at besides blaming me?"
"Sister, how could you treat Dad like that?! Dad wanted to have a nice meal with you, and this is how you treat him. If I were Dad, I would definitely use my parental authority to teach you a lesson. Dad, don't you think so?" Shen Meiyan tilted her head slightly, her innocent eyes blinking as she looked at Shen Yanshan.
